Development of Tolerance Ring for Cleanliness in Assembly Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In arm hookup assembly process, the tolerance ring is commonly used for coupling a bearing cartridge to an arm hookup. This process often encounter cleanliness problem which is caused by metal scratch between the arm hookup and the tolerance ring. The main purpose is development the tolerance ring using finite element 3D model and validation of experimental result. The result shows that the simulation result corresponds to the experimental result, the vulnerable point effect less movement of the tolerance ring. Moreover, the cleanliness problem in process was eliminated also.
